In my Around the League segment on Total Access today with Fran Charles, we discussed the steroid memo sent to NFL players as well as the situation in Washington where Redskins coach Jim Zorn appears to be on the hot seat.

Now that Brett Favre and Mike Vick are gainfully employed, I thought I’d reflect back on what has been another wild NFL offseason (and I’m including the events of training camp as part of the “offseason,” cause, heck, we’re not in the regular season yet).

After several changes in offensive coordinators and schemes, along with the offseason flirtation with Pro Bowl QB Jay Cutler, many are left wondering if Jason Campbell can grow through the adversity to become the playmaking quarterback the Redskins are looking for.

Jim Zorn is unusually forthcoming for an NFL coach. He’ll tell you as much, likely in a very thorough and well-thought-out way. When asked about what he learned during his first season as a head coach, Zorn offered this:

“One thing I’ve learned is that I’ve probably said too much in interviews with you guys,” Zorn quipped. “But that’s the way I am. I need to speak in shorter snippets.”

Redskins coach Jim Zorn has become a lightning rod of controversy in Washington during his first season, and Marty Schottenheimer and Steve Spurrier are probably wondering what took so long. Leonard Shapiro wrote a column in the Washington Post which is quick to point out that Zorn is just a rookie who needs to learn how to tone down his act.

On the trade deadline day, the Washington Redskins made headlines of their own without trading a player.

The Redskins signed former NFL MVP running back Shaun Alexander to a one-year deal and punter Ryan Plackemeier. Both players will be reunited with Redskins head coach Jim Zorn, whom they worked with in Seattle.
